I always buy ready-made pastre, but always check it is butter only and NOT palm oil.

I've never been able to make pastry, I've always bought it chilled or frozen. I can bake, I can cook, but pastry, no.
Who wants a pie you have to cut with a hammer and chisel?

I always use ready made pastry. All the chefs on TV say it's just as good as homemade.

Life is to short to faff about making puff pastry. Ready made every time.

I gave up making pastry years ago.

I’m afraid the bought stuff is soooo much better than mine?

I have an easy way without buying ready made - my trusty old Kenwood Chef does it perfectly.
Ditto crumble mix. ?

To say im elated is an understatement, heard countless times of ready made pastry. *grab off the shelf, concoced whatever
throw in the oven, da-daaaa*

But i havent purchased any, TILL YESTERDAY, the ease, the hassle free, the time saved, the lack of MESS... whoaaaa MAGNIFIQUE

But, but, but, sat alone side this feeling of euphoria was a sense of betrayal, yes BETRAYAL, in so much as this quick, no mess, bish-bash-bosh attempt was sheer and utter LAZINESS...

Visions rang round my head of a work surface being full of all manner of equipment to make pastry, flour covered work top, mixing bowl, scales, i felt i had cheated, taken the down right lazy option.

Yes, the pastry tasted mmmmmmmm, no complaints there, BUT i was left with a bitter taste in my mouth at taking the easy route.
